TEN MINUTES OF LOVE


Alex you are a doll heart impactor
We were there to buy a trash compactor
No other reason that's all
Fell in love with a boy three foot tall
Alex informed us he was three
But August fourth four he will be
He told us his sister not yet one
The classic reach by sis my heart was won
Alex said, "Sharon would you be my Grandmother?"
Love can be found in a world where people hate one another
Next thing they are playing football in the yard
On the way home I said, "We have to send Alex a birthday card."
We had to go the ride home was long
Alex thought to him Sharon did belong
As we were about to drive on our way
We heard Alex shout and say,
"Sharon you didn't even give me a hug,"
She opened the door and there was Alex
He knew we would stop his look so smug
Then he came around and had to hug me too
We looked at each other and we both knew
Alex needs to be send a special birthday card
He was yelling, "See you next time Grandma Sharon"
Pulling from the driveway was really hard

Ten minutes of love happened today and this way.
He picked up on Sharon's name as if he knew her
all his life. I am sure he heard us asking his
Mother for directions but he nailed her with affection.
But the bonding was instant. If we all were children
there would be no fighting and sure no wars.
